Book Overview
This book is a study of the Lutheran Peace Fellowship (LPF), which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1991, and its impact on the social teaching of the Lutheran Church in the United States. Schroeder documents LPF's development as a case study of the relationship between the Church's 'edge' and the shape it takes in the world. That pacifism has never been the majority position in the Lutheran tradition does not mean, Schroeder asserts, that it has been irrelevant or insignificant to the understanding of Lutheran identity and theology. Contents: Foreword, John Backe; Living Our Life; Doing What the Reformers Did; A Word That Matters; Where Is the Church?; A Community and a Perspective; Becoming More Organized?; Beginnings Everywhere; Afterword, Bonnie Block.
